Château des Ormes stands in Les Ormes (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century, first quarter of the 20th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the right bank of the Vienne river, the Château des Ormes bears the marks of a history reaching back to the 15th century, reshaped considerably in the 18th century under the Voyer de Paulmy d'Argenson family. Visitors come for the intellectual atmosphere of the Enlightenment years, when figures such as Voltaire and Marmontel visited, and for the curiosities gathered over generations: a vaulted ice house from the early 19th century, a former electric power plant, and an old herbarium. The current central building actually dates from the early 20th century, designed by architect A. Coulomb, while the side pavilions go back to the 18th century.
